This website features spoiler-free reviews on books from the Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance genres, as well as a few loosely connected sub-genres and off-shoots. From time to time there will also be books not remotely connected to any of these genres at all, but that I've read and thought were worth reviewing and recommending.

So, if you're wondering just what exactly Urban Fantasy is, or the difference between it and Paranormal Romance, you'll probably get a different answer for every person you ask. Wikipedia certainly has its own view on it, but for me it comes down to this.

Both have paranormal and/or fantasy elements in them such as supernatural or mythical creatures (vampires, werewolves, witches, pixies, elves, etc.). The main differences are that Urban Fantasy has to be set in the real world, usually in a city (hence the "urban" part) and so is essentially a "what would it be like if such creatures really did exist in our world?" kind of deal. Urban Fantasy books do not have to have any romance in them what-so-ever, although a lot of them do, for which I am very glad, but often those romances can be slow to develop, usually taking several books for a relationship to form. (Prime example: The Mercedes Thompson series).

Paranormal Romances on the other hand, being essentially a sub-genre of the almighty Romance category, do have to have a romance plot-line that ends in a HEA (Happily Ever After), and the romance storyline has to fill a certain portion of the book and usually constitutes the main plot with the world-building and any paranormal elements, secondary to it. (Prime example: The Blackdagger Brotherhood series)
